So are we allowed to discuss media coverage of the poll or is that banned from this thread too?

I’m assuming it’s a 3-day minimum probe to discuss that poll so I want to be clear if we also will get probated for linking to media coverage that includes that poll too.

Trump’s reelection chances are going to dramatically increase if this piece of poo poo gets in there and makes the whole debate about RussiaGate/Impeachment.

It’s also funny how this billionaire is pretending he didn’t buy and/or pull strings behind the scenes to meet the “qualifications”.

His brand of soulless, data driven sociopathy is also what lead to bullshit like Trump. Predicting the future based on data from the past is so uniquely dangerous and idiotic.

It’s the same reason why we keep hearing nonsensical bullshit from the MSM that “unemployment numbers” are “low” under Trump.

data-driven sociopathy (or, to be more precise, sociopathy laundered via a language of being "data-driven" or otherwise being derived from expertise) is the language of neoliberalism

NPR is comparing Sanders to Trump because he criticized WaPo for their obvious anti-left bias.


NPR posted:

Sen. Bernie Sanders criticized Amazon on Tuesday — then lashed out at The Washington Post, which is owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, saying the paper "doesn't write particularly good articles about me." The remarks were similar to ones made by President Trump.

If an article happens to have a poll somewhere in it, I don't care. I'm not going to dig through every single article with a fine-toothed comb looking for poll links or mentions of polls. On the other hand, if the article is about the poll, or about polling in general, you'd better respect the list. Coverage about worthless polls is itself worthless. And the fact that the poll in question was done by the company Breitbart hired to conduct all their 2016 polling suggests that the thread could really benefit from people paying a little more attention to where the numbers are actually coming from before they post the numbers here.

Donald Trump was right.

NYT is an enemy of the people.



Here's who they've assigned to cover Sanders: https://www.jacobinmag.com/2019/07/bernie-sanders-sydney-ember-new-york-times

quote:

Ember is supposed to write reported articles, not op-eds, but she consistently paints a negative picture of Sanders’s temperament, history, policies, and political prospects in the over two dozen pieces she’s done on him. This makes sense, given the New York Times’s documented anti-Sanders bias, which can be found among both editors and reporters alike.

The paper was caught making significant changes, without acknowledging them, to a 2016 article on Sanders hours after it went up: it changed the headline (from “Bernie Sanders Scored Victories for Years via Legislative Side Doors,” to “Via Legislative Side Doors, Bernie Sanders Won Modest Victories”); deleted a positive quote from a campaign adviser; and added two negative paragraphs.

Even after the paper’s public editor chastised the Times for the practice known as stealth editing, the editors defended the changes because they “thought [the article] should say more about his realistic chances.” In its original form, the article didn’t cast enough doubt on Sanders’s viability and ability to govern, in other words.

Ember came to the New York Times with a resumé limited to the finance industry: She was an analyst for BlackRock, the biggest global investment management corporation and the largest investor in coal plant developers in the world. (Her husband, Mike Bechek, is also in the investment business; he was a senior associate consultant at Bain Capital, where his father was CEO.)

Ember was hired by the Times in 2014 to cover advertising and marketing for the paper’s business vertical Dealbook. She started covering politics in May 2018 and immediately got the enviable assignment of covering one of the leading contenders for the 2020 Democratic nomination.

Remember that he got millions of people's information when he ran his personally funded ad campaign for impeachment. I think his list was somewhere around 8 million people. Add in the other mail lists he can buy with the money he finds in his couch, and he probably needs a lower sucker rate than Nigerian Prince emails get to hit 130,000.
